Does restitution coefficient depends on kinetic energy?

AI Thread Summary
The restitution coefficient is defined as the ratio of final velocity to initial velocity. It does not depend on kinetic energy; increasing initial velocity results in a proportionate increase in final velocity. Therefore, the restitution coefficient remains constant regardless of changes in kinetic energy. This conclusion clarifies the relationship between kinetic energy and the restitution coefficient. Understanding this principle is essential for accurate calculations in physics.

[SOLVED] Does restitution coefficient depends on kinetic energy?

Does restitution coefficient depends on kinetic energy?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It's determined by the ratio of the final velocity and the initial velocity. If you increase the initial velocity (with more kinetic energy) then the the final velocity will also be higher, so no it does not.
 
Thank you, very much!
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
